    Abstract:
    Volume expansion inhibits the proximal reabsorption of water, bicarbonate, and chloride. The present work tested a hypothetical role of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the expansion effect. We studied 19 Sprague-Dawley rats during a plasma-replete euvolemic state and following 10% body wt colloid-free expansion. In group I, six intact rats, volume expansion decreased plasma ionized calcium concentration ([Ca2+]P) from 2.28 +/- 0.06 to 2.11 +/- 0.04 meq/liter and increased nephrogenous cAMP (NcAMP) from 29 +/- 5 to 66 +/- 10 pmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1. In group II, six acutely thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats, [Ca2+]P also fell from 2.18 +/- 0.08 to 1.80 +/- 0.08 meq/liter but NcAMP did not rise significantly (9 +/- 3 vs. 17 +/- 5 pmol X min-1 X g kidney wt-1). These data strongly suggest that stimulation of PTH activity occurred during expansion in intact animals. In group III, seven TPTX rats, volume expansion inhibited proximal reabsorption of total CO2 by 11%, of chloride by 24%, and of water by 19%. Volume expansion-induced reduction in bicarbonate, chloride, and water reabsorption was smaller in TPTX than in intact rats previously studied. We conclude that volume expansion inhibits proximal reabsorption in part by decreasing the active transcellular NaHCO3 and NaCl transport secondary to stimulation of PTH activity.
